CHRIS MARTIN believes COLDPLAY have failed as a band — because they are not big enough in the karaoke market yet.

 

The frontman has made some pretty outrageous comments recently — like confessing to a secret love of WESTLIFE and PETER ANDRE. But aiming for success with singalong sessions is the most odd yet.

 

He said: “I’m really determined there should be more Coldplay songs in karaoke bars. I’ve been into them and you open the lyrics book and there are a million BEATLES songs. There’s dozens of ABBA, CULTURE CLUB or even BUCKS FIZZ, but Coldplay? There will be two or at best three. If we could just get eight in every bar worldwide I’d be happy. I would know we’ve made it. I think there are three karaoke possibilities on Viva La Vida. It surely has to be the ultimate measure of success.”

 

Chris readily admits his own attempt at karaoke is less than stellar. He added: “I got up in a bar one night with my mate TIM WHEELER (from ASH) and we chose Bohemian Rhapsody. It was appalling.”

I have karaoke on my cable and it has Yellow. *hick :P

*Hick* to you all:P:laugh3:

 

Well we have unleashed Westlife and Boyzone on an unsuspecting world so I guess we deserve sucking at karaoke! :lol:

It'd be nice if they massacred something else other than Yellow *COUGHFixYouCOUGH*

haha I'd love to hear some friends trying to reach the high notes of fix you haha

this is funny:laugh3:

LOL!:lol: Chris is such an oddball!! I've sung CLocks, Yellow, The Scientist and In My Place in various bars, so he only needs 4 more songs unti Coldplay have FINALLY made it!!!:laugh3:

He's got some issues. :laugh3:

They have speed of sound on some random karaoke game, and i have to say, i kick all of my friends' asses on it. :smug:

 

But i couldn't bear someone fucking up their songs.

:thumbsup: Me too,lol.

 

So there's Speed Of Sound and Fix You as well? 2 to go, Chris...until then your whole career it a total FAIL!:laugh3:

Chris worries about the most trivial things. :lol:

Compared to most of their other songs, that one practically massacres itself. But amazingly, 99% of popular music is still much worse.

 

More on topic...this isn't that surprising. (Besides the part about Chris thinking this means Coldplay is a failure. "It surely has to be the ultimate measure of success?!" :confused:) It's just a side effect of the way everyone either likes Coldplay, or hates them and thinks everyone who likes them is a moron. There's still hope that VLV(ODAAHF?) will change that, though...

i have sung coldplay many a time....and not ruined the songs :P made them better if anything (dotn kill me! im joking!) :cool:

:laugh3:

QUOTED FOR FLOOPIN' TRUTH. Gaaaah.

 

BUT ANYWAY

I've sung Yellow and got all shy as per usual so sang it crap and in a typical teenage girl voice :dozey: IIIIII think I can do better than that :whip: although I OWN on Speed of Sound (it's SingStar Rock that it's on btw)
